Still Life with Flowers — Jan van Huysum

Jan van Huysum. Painted 1723.

In the 18th century, Van Huysum brought the extremely popular genre of flower painting to great heights. Instead of the usual dark background, he used a light one with a park landscape, creating the impression that the flowers are set out-of-doors on a balustrade. The décor here consists of a statue of Flora, the goddess of flowers, some cursorily painted foliage and a pond.

From the collection of the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam. Currently on display in Citizens and regents, 18th Century, Main building.
